While the Creative Arts Emmy winners got their time on stage to give their acceptance speeches (and you can watch the broadcast of the ceremony on FXX this Saturday), there’s always more to say, more light to shed on what it means to them, etc.

So, backstage, after their victories, many of the night’s winners talked with press…and they shared some lovely sentiments about the shows that got them an Emmy…

Melissa Leo (Outstanding Guest Actress In A Comedy Series, LOUIE)

The path for Leo's Emmy win for Guest Actress in a comedy series started, appropriately enough, when she attended the Emmys for the HBO "My son saw Louie out of the corner of his eye -- I had no idea who the guy was, but my son...said, 'Oh, Mom, I want to meet Louie C.K.' And he's never really done that, so I introduced my son to him...three weeks later, I heard he wanted to send me a script to do the show. So I think my son got it for me."
